WASHINGTON, D.C. (WordNews.org) July 31, 2012 — Supporters of California’s marriage amendment that supports marriage between one man and one woman have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit declared the amendment unconstitutional.
The full 9th Circuit passed on reviewing the decision on Prop 8 last month. More than 7 million California voters approved the amendment.
Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys are part of the legal defense team for ProtectMarriage.com, the banner organization for the official proponents and campaign committee of Proposition 8.
“Marriage is a universal good that has been honored by diverse cultures and faiths for the entire history of Western Civilization,” said Senior Legal Counsel Austin R. Nimocks. “The ProtectMarriage.com legal team looks forward to standing before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the people’s right to preserve this fundamental building block of civilization. The democratic process and the most important human institution–marriage–shouldn’t be overthrown based on the demands of Hollywood activists.”
